I am Ann-Marie and this is my writing buddy Lucy. I write fiction and creative nonfiction with the aim of reminding us how deeply connected we are, especially women.

We moved to the Bay area two years ago so I could complete my MFA at California College of the Arts, where I have been lucky enough to work with novelists, Jasmin Darznik, Anita Amirrezvani, and Rita Bullwinkel.

My mission is to open minds. You can read all my rants and essays here: https://pearlwriter.substack.com/

The exciting news is I am working on my first novel. It’s a historical fiction about a gutsy woman in 19th century Manhattan who takes to wearing trousers so she can get from the world of men what she wants: an education and a career as an abortionist and midwife. To stay updated on its progress and to read my other writings about women omitted from HIStory, check out my Substack or drop your email into the form to the right and we’ll let you know how it’s going.
